Sedation Helmet Covers Scared Kids

BOSTON (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  Getting a kid to take their
medicine is hard enough, but giving them anesthesia is downright
impossible.

Thats where the PediSedate comes in, a colorful, toy-
like headset that connects to a video game console and releases
nitrous oxide into a childs breathing passages so they
dont realize they are being sedated.

Inventor Dr. Geoff Hart  Anesthesia Director at the
University of Massachusetts  created the PediSedate as a
way to make going into surgery or any other painful procedure
less traumatizing for kids.

He was appalled at the careless methods docs were
using to sedate kids, like tying them down to a board to
cooperate with anesthesiologists.

He explains, So I wed medical technology  which is
breathing in anesthesia for a procedure  and something that
makes kids feel calm, like playing video games.

The PediSedate will make doctors visits easier for kids.

However, Hart insists it is not to be used to mellow out
hyperactive or bratty children.
